Chapter 1469: Many Skills Are Better than Nothing
The Zhao family's old house was built by Zhao Dazhu, Zhao Jun's father, who spent a huge sum of money after Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan got engaged.
The so-called huge sum of money refers to all the cash the Zhao family had at the time.
Give it your all, but not much.
This so-called small three-room building was built with a usable area of more than 40 square meters, less than 50 square meters.
The house was already quite big at that time, but there were so many people living in the Zhao family.
As soon as Zhao Youcai, Zhang Yuanmin, Lin Xiangshun, Li Baoyu, Jie Chen, and Li Ruhai came out of the back room, plus the people who were chopping stuffings, the outer room was almost full of people.
At this moment, no one in this group said anything, they just looked at Zhao Youcai with various eyes, which made Zhao Youcai panic.
The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough waves know the loyal ministers.
"Jun!" At this juncture, Li Dayong walked out of the east room and called Zhao Jun: "I can drive one sheep, and shepherd two sheep. You can also teach me."
After saying this, Li Dayong said to Wang Qiang who was watching the excitement: "Qiangzi, you can also learn. There is no need to overwhelm yourself with many skills."
"I'll learn." Wang Qiang said, "My eldest nephew said he would teach me after the Chinese New Year."
"Then bring it with you, too." Li Dayong looked at Zhao Jun, who immediately nodded and said, "Let's learn, uncle, that's no problem."
Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan both support their desire to learn to drive.
These days, driving in forested areas does not require a certification, the main issues are fuel consumption and car repairs.
The Zhao family has Zhou Jianjun as oil dealer, Lin Xiangshun as auto repair parts, and they also have cars at home. The more people who can drive, the more people can work.
Hearing Zhao Jun's promise made Zhao Youcai so happy that he happily went inside to smoke, drink tea, and watch TV.
After the "News Network" ended, he watched Shanhe TV's "Evening News" for a while. Seeing that it was eight o'clock, Zhao Youcai said to Zhao Jun: "Go and get the wild boar skin back."
"Hey, okay, Dad." Zhao Jun stood up as he spoke, and Li Baoyu, who was sitting next to him, stood up and said, "Brother, I will accompany you."
"I'll go too." Jie Chen also said, "I'll go for a stroll, too."
"Brother, I..." Seeing that Zhang Yuanmin was about to get up, Zhao Jun hurriedly held him down and said, "Brother, please stay at home and watch TV. It's just a wild boar skin, there's no need to go there with so many people."
When Zhao Jun said this, he secretly winked at Li Ruhai.
Li Ruhai understood it instantly. When he got up from the bench, he turned around and put down the cotton-padded jacket he had piled on the table against the wall and said, "I'm going to go out and get some fresh air."
Hearing Li Ruhai's words, Zhao Youcai stopped holding his cigarette and glanced at Zhao Jun to the side with his small eyes.
The four of them got dressed, walked out of the room, and went to Chen Dalai's house.
As soon as he came out of the yard, Li Ruhai asked Zhao Jun: "Brother, what's going on?"
"What's going on?" Zhao Jun glanced at Li Ruhai and said, "What bad thing did you do again?"
"Ah?" Li Ruhai was startled, and then he shouted: "Brother, you are wronged! When I came back from home, I worked hard at home. Today alone, I bought eighteen fox skins and thirty-two pieces of yellow. Ye Zi, there are five big skins, I..."
"You can do it." Zhao Jun interrupted Li Ruhai and said, "Let me ask you, did you give Ma Yangyan?"
"Smoke?" Li Baoyu next to him heard this, grabbed Li Ruhai's arm and asked, "You smoke."
"Get away!" Li Ruhai shook off Li Baoyu's arm and asked Zhao Jun, "Brother, how did you know?"
"How did I know?" Zhao Jun told what he saw at Ma's house. When he mentioned that Ma Yang had confessed that Li Ruhai had been smoking for less than half a year, Li Baoyu next to him screamed strangely: "Oh my God. , Li Ruhai! If you dare to smoke, your parents won’t take advantage of you!”
Li Ruhai glanced at Li Baoyu, and then said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, don't be angry when I speak. Your brother-in-law is really not a reliable person."
At this point, Li Ruhai sighed heavily, and he didn't know whether he was sighing for Ma Yang or Li Baoyu.
Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this, and then heard Li Ruhai continue: "He asked me to ask for the cigarette. Give it to his Qian'er. He said so himself. Even if he kills him, he won't say that I gave it to him."
"I won't tell you if I'm beaten to death, but if I'm not beaten to death, I'll tell you." Li Baoyu gloated: "Who told you to smoke? If you don't smoke, how can others control what you want?"
Li Ruhai twitched the corner of his mouth, but this time he didn't even look at Li Baoyu, and only explained to Zhao Jun: "Brother, in fact, I used to smoke just for fun, just like me and adults.
This time I came back from Little Sequoia. It was pointless for me to think about it, so I pinched it before I got too addicted. Yes or no? A waste of money and not good for your health. "
At this point, Li Ruhai paused for a moment. Seeing Zhao Jun nod, Li Ruhai continued: "At that time, I still had more than half a box of cigarettes in my hand, so I thought about taking them to a small store to disperse them..."
Li Baoyu, who had failed to speak just now, finally got the chance. He just heard him say: "Scattered? Your hands and claws are really big. Can't you just give me the cigarette left?"
Here, people are said to have loose hands and big hands, which means that they are generous and can give things to others. Like Zhao Jun's grandfather, this is how he got his nickname Wang Dabapa.
Li Ruhai ignored Li Baoyu before, but he couldn't stand Li Baoyu's words for a while. Li Ruhai couldn't stand it anymore and turned to him and said: "I want to give it to you. You can take it with your front foot, and you have to go to our mother with your back foot."
"I..." Li Baoyu was about to retort, but felt that this boy was right.
"What are you, you?" Li Ruhai rolled his eyes at him and said, "You can do it."
"I..." Li Baoyu seemed to be about to say something, but Li Ruhai beat him to it and said, "That's just the way you are!"
"Hehehe..." The two brothers bickered, much to the amusement of Jie Chen next to them.
After dealing with his own brother, Li Ruhai turned back and said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, I'm not talking about your brother-in-law. When I was helping the group of people playing cards in the small shop to disperse cigarettes, he came in outside and insisted on asking me for two. I If you don't give it to him, he won't do it. If something happens, he will give it to me."
Hearing what Li Ruhai said, Zhao Jun had no choice but to smooth things over for Ma Yang and said, "He has no choice. His father, mother, and sister are trying to deal with him, and he can't handle it anymore."
"Okay, brother." Li Ruhai raised his hand and sighed: "I see your face, I'm not like him."
"Okay, Ruhai, then it's up to you, brother." Zhao Jun responded, and then Li Baoyu took advantage of the opportunity and asked Li Ruhai: "What kind of cigarette did you give someone?"
"Welcome the Spring Festival." Li Ruhai answered these two words lightly, but he heard Li Baoyu scream strangely and said: "You are really good, dad and I are the ones smoking grapes!"
When the two brothers were arguing, they went to Chen Dalei's house.
When the four people came over, Chen Dalai and his two brothers-in-law were busy working in front of the house.
I saw piles of wild boar hanging on the tent, and the three of them were pouring water on the meat with gourds and ladles.
This Dulu wild boar meat weighs five kilograms. It is easy for Zhao Jun's family to tie it with iron wire. This is because their family has a strong relationship and can get the iron wire from the forest farm. As for Chen Dalai's family, they were tied with hemp rope.
Tie the meat and hang it on the tent. When the meat is frozen, water is poured on the meat. This is called hanging wax, which can prevent water loss.
Seeing Zhao Jun and others coming over, Chen Dalai and the other three greeted each other and saw Chen Dalai pointing to the side and rolling up the wild boar skin, and said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, they have been tied up for you, just carry them away." ”
Zhao Jun took a look and saw that the wild boar skin was rolled into a long tube and tied with hemp rope at both ends and in the middle. This shows that Chen Dalai was indeed upright in his work.
Zhao Jun thanked Chen Dalei and brought the fish in his hand, saying that he wanted Chen Dalei to take it home and fry it for his children.
Chen Dalei is not a forest farm employee. His family cannot share hairtail, and his children have never eaten this in a year. After a few polite words, Chen Dalai accepted the hairtail.
Without Zhao Jun taking action, Li Baoyu and Jie Chen each carried an end of hemp rope and the wild boar skin and headed home.
Zhao Jun and Li Ruhai followed, and when they were a little far away from Chen Dalei's house, Li Ruhai suddenly asked Zhao Jun: "Brother, you and I went to Lao Ma's house. My uncle didn't follow me when he came back. Dad complained, did you stop it for me? "
"Haha, oops. Ruhai, you are so smart." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "I was thinking about it for a while and told you. You go to Uncle Dachun's house tomorrow morning and tell him. Let him go to work and after get off work. Sitting next to your dad, with Uncle Da Chun sitting next to you, I, Uncle Ma, can't say anything."
After Zhao Jun finished speaking, Li Baoyu, who was walking in front, said, "You can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime."
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
"Let's hide for two days." Zhao Jun said: "When your family kills a pig for dinner on the 26th, my uncle will definitely drink too much. Once he drinks too much, whatever you say to him, he will just wave his hand and go."
Hearing Zhao Jun's words, Li Baoyu curled his lips, hoping that the boy would escape.
Some people drink too much and beat their children to death. But Li Dayong was not like that. Li Dayong drank too much, and his arty energy only came back.
If Li Ruhai rushed to admit his mistake when Li Dayong drank too much, Li Dayong would just wave his hand and say: "Okay, dad won't hit you this time, and I won't allow it in the future."
But at this time, Li Ruhai took a deep look at Zhao Jun, then sighed and said, "Brother, you are so good to me."
Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this, but then he heard Li Ruhai say: "Brother, you don't have to worry about me. I will explain to my father and my mother when I get home."
"Huh? What's the purpose of that?" Zhao Jun was stunned, and saw Li Ruhai glance at the back of Li Baoyu's head, and then said: "Tomorrow my dad will come back from get off work, and I will be beaten tonight. Just watch, I will do it the day after tomorrow." If you don’t give me some firepower, some people will have to give me some firepower.”
"I don't care about your nonsense." Li Baoyu, who was walking in front, said this, and Li Ruhai said: "I didn't talk about you either."
"Neither can your uncle." Zhao Jun comforted Li Ruhai like this, but Li Ruhai shook his head and said: "It's okay, brother. A man, a real man, would rather take what is straightforward than ask for what is wrong."
When saying this, Li Ruhai raised his head slightly and straightened his back.
But at this time, I heard Zhao Jun say: "Oh, you are so young, who can you marry? No one will make an engagement with you."
Li Baoyu and Li Ruhai: "..."
The sharp-tongued Li Ruhai was speechless at this moment. Li Ruhai, who came to his senses after a while, shook his head and said to Zhao Jun: "Yes, brother, I understand."
When Li Ruhai said this, the four of them had already arrived outside the Zhao family courtyard.
Zhao Jun asked Li Baoyu and Jiechen to carry the wild boar skin under the window sill, while he went into the house to find Zhao Youcai.
"Dad." Zhao Jun entered the house and said to Zhao Youcai: "Bring back the wild boar skin and put it under the window."
"Bring it to the house." Zhao Youcai raised his head and said to Zhao Jun: "Don't put it outside. Will it stop freezing if you put it outside? Bring it to the house and put it under the fire wall in the outer room."
"Then when will we deal with it?" Zhao Jun asked, and Zhao Youcai said: "I will clean it up tomorrow morning, so you don't have to worry about it."
Zhao Jun responded and went out to ask Li Baoyu and Jie Chen to bring the wild boar skin into the house.
At this time, the meat filling has been mixed. Roe deer meat and green onions are stuffed with roe deer meat accounting for 95%. Everything in this meat stuffing is filled with meat and eggs, and everything in it is fragrant.
Wang Meilan divided the dumpling fillings among everyone, and the seven families went back to their homes holding basins, basins, and lunch boxes.
The five members of the Li family were the first to arrive home. Jin Xiaomei entered the house, took off her cotton-padded jacket and walked to the outhouse. She opened the door of the dish rack and made noodles, preparing to knead and leave the noodles so that she could steam the buns and eat them in the morning.
"Mom." Li Ruhai walked out of the west room, walked behind Jin Xiaomei, and said straight to the point, "I have to admit a mistake to you."
"Ah?" Jin Xiaomei was stunned and said, "Aren't you fine today?"
After returning from the small redwood forest farm, Li Ruhai performed really well. Throughout the whole day today, he went out for a walk in the morning for more than half an hour, and spent the rest of the time helping with work at home.
"Mom, I..." Li Ruhai said, pointing towards the east room.
Jin Xiaomei understood instantly and said, "Just tell me, old son, it's okay."
When Jin Xiaomei said this, Li Ruhai felt relieved and he confessed truthfully.
The walls of the old house were not soundproof, and the door to the east room was not closed. Li Dayong could hear clearly what Li Ruhai said in the house.
Just halfway through hearing this, Li Dayong jumped out of the back room, scaring Li Ruhai into hiding behind Jin Xiaomei.
"Little calf, what the hell did I tell you?" Li Dayong pointed at Li Ruhai and shouted: "Before sixteen, you were not allowed to smoke or drink."
"I won't smoke anymore, dad." Li Ruhai said this, but Jin Xiaomei raised her hand to stop Li Dayong and said, "Okay, you are twelve or thirteen years old, you just steal my dad's cigarettes."
"I...we all smoked at that time." Li Dayong shouted: "Can they be the same as us now? They should all go to school!"
"Oh, then our old son won't go to school. Besides, the child has already said that he won't smoke anymore." Jin Xiaomei said this, and Li Ruhai said: "Well, I'm going to think about it and practice in the future. I will be a cadre..."
"Fuck you!" Li Dayong swore, but seeing that Jin Xiaomei's face was not good, Li Dayong hurriedly aimed his fire at Li Ruhai and said: "What the hell is that thing doing? What are you doing practicing it for?"
"Isn't it a lot of work?" Li Ruhai spoke softly, but Li Dayong frowned. He felt that these words sounded familiar.
Suddenly, Li Dayong realized that when he was at Zhao's house, this was what he said when he wanted to practice driving.
…
"Hey, Lan." In the east room of the Zhao family, Zhao Youcai, who was sitting on a small bench washing his little girl's feet, raised his head and asked Wang Meilan, who was wearing a quilt, "Do you think I can learn to drive?"
Wang Meilan looked at Zhao Youcai and joked with him, "I think you farted after eating pickles."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Zhao Youcai didn't understand, so when he asked, Wang Meilan said, "You can just hum when you're free."
Zhao Youcai: "..."
